A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
Early maple color results from climate patterns, stress, or disease. Down the street, a towering maple begins to turn a fiery orange in early August while other trees are still dressed in their dark summer greens. If this is the first time you've noticed it, odds are that the answer to the early color is due to one set of reasons. However, if that mapleâs color is a singular event, or happens annually, it may signal cause for concern.
